Sensitive localhost details exposed via replacing URI param to encoded localhost/admin due to SSRF
The endpoint appears to be vulnerable to Server Side Request Forgery attack. The original request was replayed by replacing the URI parameter with localhost/admin in an encoded format. The application responded with 2XX success code and also gave out admin-related details.
Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
How this template works
APIs Selection
The template uses API selection filters to specify the criteria for selecting the requests to be executed. In this case, the filters check for a response code between 200 and 204, and also check if the request payload or query parameter contains the string "http". If any of these conditions are met, the request will be selected for execution.
Execute request
The template specifies a single request to be executed. It modifies the query parameter and body parameter by replacing the URL key with an encoded localhost/admin URL. This is done to simulate a Server Side Request Forgery attack. The modified request is then sent to the target endpoint.
Validation
After executing the request, the template validates the response received. It checks if the response code is between 200 and 299, indicating a successful request. It also checks if the response payload contains the string "admin". If both of these conditions are met, the validation is considered successful.
